Brief Synopsis

At 17, Breck Dunbarton is paroled from a reformatory and placed in the custody of his kindly Uncle Ezra, who assures him of his implicit trust and makes him equal heir with his other nephew, West. At college Breck is falsely accused of a theft, and following his expulsion he joins the Army and goes to France. At the front he meets Marie Moore, an ambulance driver; and learning of his uncle's death, he returns home after the Armistice. When Marie is sent to be Mrs. Dunbarton's companion, both Breck and West fall in love with her. Following the disappearance of some money and the robbery of a guest, suspicion falls on Breck, who is aware of West's connection with the affair but unable to find proof. Marie discovers that West, in disguise as Madame Volnova, is the thief; she is rescued by Breck and Mrs. Dunbarton; and West confesses, redeeming Breck's honor and giving him not only the fortune but also the girl.
